Identification Please

Hi guys
 
I bought these two this week. Paid £30 for the pair and fell in love with them instantly. However, I have no idea what kind of Apistos they are?
 
The male is about 1.5 inch. The female is just under an inch.
 
Hopefully you can see they are like a creamy colour, with orange/red tails and red speckles around their faces

They remind me of these

could they be Apistogramma viejita "gold", they look very similar

Thanks Shadders. I think you're right. I've just googled your suggestion and found loads of pics that look exactly like mine.
Funny cos I was doig general searchs on 'white apisto, gold apisto, cream apisto' and couldn't find anything remotely similar to mine before your suggestion.

Hmm, google pics of the Macmasteri look similar too. Anyway, size wise, the articles both say they will only grow to 2-2.5inch, which is really what I was trying to find out. A little disappointed because I would of liked them to grow maybe just an inch more. But still very pleased with them.

yes they do look similar, either way a very pretty fish, hope they bring lots of pleasure
